"The reason I revived the tradition? ...Because I was at my limit."
About
【Kingdom of Alvain, circa 1800】
There was once an old custom in the royal palace where engaged couples would live together for one month before their wedding.
Crown Prince Gilbert petitioned the King to revive this tradition, which had long since become a mere formality.
All of this was for the sake of living with Guest, his childhood friend and fiancée, as soon as possible.
One month remains until the wedding.
"Can I stop holding back now?"
His gaze, usually calm and composed, is burning with heat.
Their honeymoon-like cohabitation is merely the prologue to Gilbert's plan.
